"Universal Health?"

Not yet published in the newspapers:

Eighty-one percent of Americans believe that in order to help reach the goal of health insurance for all, employers should either provide health insurance to their workers or contribute to the cost of their coverage, according to survey data released by The Commonwealth Fund.(CCH News)

Looks to me that if you want insurance, you'd damn well better be working someplace.

I pay $81.00 a month towards my health insurance, plus my deductable. That doesn't include my dental and vision, which also is not so bad. Most companies do provide insurance at a reduced cost. Should they be forced to? Not so sure. It's a good way benefit to provide, but a costly one. 10 years ago, under COBRA, I kept my health insurance from a job for a few months. Then, it was $360.00 a month. Now? I doubt I could.
